West Virginia has received a ton of
attention this offseason and rightfully so.
Some believe the Mountaineers have a crack at reserving a spot in Dallas for the
Big 12 championship with Oklahoma and Texas now off to the SEC, and an
experienced dual threat quarterback leading Neal Brown’s squad.
Garrett Greene took the conference by storm in 2023 after sitting behind the l
ikes of Jarret Doege and JT Daniels for the first three years of his career. He had been sprinkled into the offense here and
there in previous years, primarily on run plays, so there were still a lot of question
marks about him as a passer going into his first year as QB1.
Keeping the turnovers to a minimum is half the battle, though. If you’re not completing passes at a high percentage it
can really hold your offense back. Greene made several nice throws throughout the season, but rarely did we see him get on a hot streak and complete
a string of passes. To do that, you have to hit the easy stuff and at times, Greene had a difficult time with that. As head
coach Neal Brown would constantly remind him, every throw doesn’t have to be a fastball. You can flip in a changeup
every now and then, and especially so when you’re throwing the ball underneath.
